editThe pages at www.law.cornell.edu seem to have been moved. Maybe someone knows where they have gone and can fix the links? --Andrew Kelly (talk) 09:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
It looks like Cornell added "/html/uscode##/" and "_I_20" to the links. I don't know about law, or specifically whether the I_20 is a global thing, or just for Chapter 1: Wiki says: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sup_01_18_10_1.html New link: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sup_01_18_10_I_20_1.html 69.183.43.109 (talk) 23:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- I tried the links and none of them work? --Mikecraig (talk) 04:39, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Still broken! Matthew CB Allen (talk) 23:14, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Appendices?
editIs there a reason there's no discussion of the Appendices to Title 18 here? E.g. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18a? jhawkinson (talk) 01:47, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Whomever wrote the current version of the article needs to refresh their memory on constitutional law and American federalism
editThis article is a mess. Title 18 is not at all like the state penal codes, because the federal government lacks plenary power to prosecute crimes. United States v. Lopez (1995) would not have gone to the U.S. Supreme Court if the federal government had plenary power in the first place. --Coolcaesar (talk) 12:36, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- WP:BEBOLD. I don't have the expertise in law to fix that, but you clearly do so you should go ahead and make those edits to the benefit of all. Cheers, Alexcs114 :) 22:12, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- I just realized that I am replying to something from 4 years ago. That being said, my point still stands if you are still an active wikipedia contributor lol Alexcs114 :) 22:16, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
Nearly the entire opening paragraph is talking about things that aren't Title 18
editAll but the first two sentences are talking about things other than Title 18. Maybe this could be appropriate were it not that the comparisons are to things the reader is, in my opinion, likely to possess substantially similar knowledge. Drawing comparisons to things of equal obscurity makes no sense as it would be unlikely to bring any clarity; and even if it did, it seems inappropriate for the opening paragraph.
I don't have the knowledge or inclination - but imo the state code stuff should be removed, possibly to a section called "Comparison to other criminal codes" or something. And of course, it would be nice to see more about Title 18 in the opening paragraph. 50.53.60.123 (talk) 03:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
